Learning Plan

During the 12 years that children experience HeartShaper Children’s Curriculum, they will take five age-appropriate journeys through the Bible.

Bible skills have been integrated when learners are ready to develop those abilities. Toddlers focus on one concept for a whole month while middle elementary learners dive into Bible chronology because they understand time. Preteens discover answers from God’s Word to the questions they face in their world.
